Not a good place to work

Pros

It's a job at least.

Cons

Management absolutely does not care about their employees. Between compiling multiple positions into one job and reorganizations Xcel has destroyed a once promising talent pool. The turnover rate has increased since I've been here, just like upper managements salaries and bonuses.
